Life Update 004: Next Chapter
I think I’ve made the conscious decision to stop promoting these posts on social media. The things I want to say here are at times deeply personal and so I believe that anyone who is truly interested will find them. I want these weekly notes to be love letters to the person I was, am, and will become. These will also be the blueprint or breadcrumbs that I leave behind for others on a similar path. Not everything that leads to success is about doing, so much of it is thinking, analyzing what’s been done, and yes, feeling.
Right now I feel like a track star in the starting blocks with my mind set on winning the race. In fact, I know that I will win. Why? Because I am the only one running this race. Me vs. Me. I’m proud of that! I’ve always felt that I was carving my own lane but now it feels different. The way my thought process flows is different, it’s all very exciting.
This week will be my seventh week in quarantine, I believe. I am loving it if I’m being honest. I put a lot of energy into planning events that felt like the natural next steps for my career but when I had to cancel, I felt nothing. Like most entrepreneurs it’s time to pivot operations and I am looking forward to doing great things with my brand and CLT Noire. So many people ask me about why I moved to Charlotte and if I’ll stay. I’ve decided to stop answering those questions. What I am doing is bigger than any city, state, or country. I want to change the vibration of the world around me. To reduce my vision to where I lay my head would be foolish. It’s everything and everywhere.
As I begin to feel through this new chapter I am finding it easier to take risks. A bold step or a broad stroke doesn’t feel so scary when you consider the alternative - not doing anything at all. Many times we quantify our progress by the year or the amount of money we make which never really fit with my philosophy on life. Now I realize that I am consciously choosing how I want to show up for myself, my loved ones, and the world. My clarity of decision-making has been intensified and I think a lot of that has to do with really acting as my ideal self.
If I’m not a millionaire already - you’ll never know ;) - I think “would I can about this if I had a million dollars in the bank?” Or “would I feel this way if I took a moment to feel gratitude or self-love?” It seems like this is a hokey way of approaching things but think about the long-term effects of taking on a business partner who has connections to elevate your business but you don’t trust them or feeling angry and lashing out because someone said something you didn’t like. When you take a moment to think as your ideal self you’ll remember that business relationships take time and there are plenty of people you can partner with so either extend your window for making a decision or begin looking elsewhere. Likewise, often people approach you from their best perspective so if you hear something that angers you or makes you feel bad, by observing your emotions you may realize that person’s truest intention was to help you the best way they know how. Even if that doesn’t align with what you might say, it doesn’t mean they meant you any harm. Your deepest self knows that we are all individuals and thus you can appreciate that person for giving you the best they could.
Everything that I’ve done up until this point has been to get me here. AHH! It feels so good. Like, so good. I mean really amazing. I am excited to feel my feet firmly planted on the level ground of this new journey and I look forward to sharing a little bit of that with you. I appreciate you and looking forward to seeing you on other pages and folds of MissSuber.com!
